Pure anti-Doa stimulated by pregnancy

Vox Sang. 1994;66(1):49-50. doi: 10.1111/j.1423-0410.1994.tb00276.x.

Abstract

Pure anti-Doa stimulated by pregnancy was detected in 2 non-transfused females during routine antenatal screening. Anti-Doa occurs rarely and has generally been reported in combination with other antibodies. The first, and only report to date, of pure anti-Doa was also stimulated by pregnancy. We believe these instances to be only the second and third reported cases of pure anti-Doa.
